    Default Time Served is Time Served

    My question involves an arrest warrant from the State of: Georgia

    I was arrested twice for for traffic offenses in 2006. Both arrests were combined into one Court case and was heard on 05/05/2007. I was found guilty and was given 1 year probation and a $5,000 fine. I filed an appeal on the judgment. I fulfilled my probation obligation by faithfully reporting to my PO every two weeks. I paid zero money on the fine as I had put the judgment into the appeals Court. My probation ended before the Court of Appeals made a decision and my PO signed me off of probation. I lost my appeal. I also have not paid any money towards my fine. Never heard anything more about it.

    Recently [four days ago], I found my picture in the newspaper in the "crime stoppers" section. All it says is "Bench Warrant". I live a clean life so all I can figure is that the bench warrant is for not paying my fine. A debtors prison is illegal and unconstitutional. What am I facing when I go to Court and explain that I can not pay the fine?

    Time served is time served. It is not time served plus more time still yet if there is a fine. The judgment was one year. I served one year on probation and was signed off of probation 17 months ago. [29 months total]

    P.S. I have no drivers license or State ID. I own no property or real estate. I do not work as I retired.

    P.S.S Why be arrested? Can I just go directly to Court and be heard by the Judge? Being arrested is an unnecessary step.
